A FEW species given In this list have never, that I am 

 aware of, occurred in the central portion of the State. Such 

 are the the Summer Red-bird, Blue Grosbeak, Turkey Buz- 

 zard, Red Phalarope, Hariequin Duck and White Pelican. 

 However, all of these birds have been taken in the State, 

 some of them frequently, and therefore should be retained 

 as accidental in these sections.
